  okay, what about
   * Try to find a domain based on the hypervisor ID number
   * Note that this won't work for inactive domains which have an ID of -1,
   * in that case a lookup based on the Name or UUId need to be done instead.

and then revert that specific part of the patch, as attached. Also 
I would make a 'make rebuild' in the doc directory and push the doc update
